Within a year, the agency that placed me said there was a position in the agency in London. I started off, I studied as a teacher, a secondary school teacher and went traveling to the UK as a teacher and was going to go for six to 12 months. Well, it’s a really hard place to start because I’ve done too many things, to be honest. Okay, Craig, to get us started, can you tell us a little bit about your career background and your current role?Ĭraig: Yeah. Today we’re thrilled to be joined by the wonderful, Craig Watson. And today I’m lucky enough to have Andrea Kirby as my wonderful co-host. Available now on Strivin & Thrivin! FULL TRANSCRIPT Listen to hear more from Craig on switching careers and taking the plunge on new projects. During our conversations, we cover everything from diversity to the impact COVID-19 has had on the talent pool. “If people are more comfortable with you, they’re more authentic”.īut this is only the tip of the iceberg. This means understanding each recruit and being more approachable. We establish that to Craig, the importance of recruitment is being able to add value and finding the right people in order to do so. So it affects quality and there’s this pressure by agency owners for people to get the job done”. “This race to the bottom, it’s all about who can fill the role quickest because the quickest person gets paid. We broach the topic of in-house versus agency, during which Craig highlights the major pitfall of agencies is the race to fill seats rather than source a quality hire. “I stumbled and stumbled and stumbled along for many, many years,” Craig tells us as he recalls his career journey and the defining moments in which he was able to identify that his strengths lay in working with people. During his downtime, he catches up with family and spends his weekends being a surf lifesaver. While his day job is at Recstra he also co-hosts Tapod, a podcast about talent acquisition. Today Craig is a family man who has established a successful career in recruitment. With the nudge from his mum, he trained to be a teacher, leaning on his personable skills and people qualities. Recstra allows you to choose the hours you work while saving companies on excessive recruitment fees.Ĭraig tells us, from a young age he knew his talents lay in accounting and economics so, naturally, he concluded he’d grow up to be a “Super Accountant”. This week on Strivin & Thrivin, we catch up with Craig Watson, Director and Founder of Recstra, the platform for HR specialists looking for more flexible working hours. I was trying to figure out what file gets edited when I add a DNS server in the GUI's DNS settings, so I was running this command for 16+ hours: sudo grep -rs "1.1.1.1" / which was scanning all files on my Ubuntu virtual machine but it never finished even after running that long, but I knew it's possible that the file could exist in /etc/NetworkManager so I ran the grep again pointing at that directory and found this: /etc/NetworkManager/system-connections/Wired connection 1:dns=1.1.1.1 so I came back here to write an answer only to find out Lekensteyn has already pointed this out in the comments on the accepted answer.“Recruitment as a service is broken in the agency model” You can just delete this line if you don't want to assign any dns.Īlso you have to add this line ignore-auto-dns=true to ignore DHCP provided DNS servers (like the DNS server set in router's config): So we need to edit the file and add DNS servers in it: Sudo nano "/etc/NetworkManager/system-connections/Wired connection 1"Īdd as many DNS servers as you like under the section and seperate them with semicolons and also put a at the end of the last DNS server like this: There has to be a file with the name of your connection, mine is called Wired Connection 1. You can change IPv4 DNS settings the graphical way as answered hereīut if you're wondering how to do the same thing using command line, you have to list files in /etc/NetworkManager/system-connections directory with ls command: ls /etc/NetworkManager/system-connections
